  • Flags to schools.

    A few faces that some here may find familiar.

    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

      Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

            Great to see the DF getting out there in the public eye like that, long overdue. Plus I like linking the DF to the 1916 commerations in this manner, the flag, the proclamation. Great idea. Well done DF. I'm hoping to be back in Dublin for the festivities myself, be a hard one to miss, once in a lifetime.

              Are you bringing back dress rig with ya? I was invited to a do for it but a) I've hung up my uniform for civvy life and b) I'm pretty sure a BA uniform on Easter Sunday in Ireland would get me killed... still struggling to figure out if it was a set up or not!

                That's someone's daughter/sister/commanding officer you are talking about there.

                  That's the humour of ARRSE, I'm afraid...

                    And that's what's so good about ARRSE. Takes no prisoners.

                      Fair one, next time I'll steer clear of talking about any woman who has parents or siblings... or a commission.

                        Fixed that for you
                        'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                        'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                        Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                        He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                          Is this only for primary schools or do secondary get a visit too?

                          There's certainly room for something like this to become an annual event. The Irish equivalent to the Poppy month, which literally pervades every aspect of british society. It's great though, I've made a point of talking to the crustys in uni here (southern england) just to ask why they wear it. They may be horrendous unclean Corbynites who would shun a lot of what the military stands for but they have respect for the fallen. It's touching in a way. And maybe those who fell in 1916, the civil war and the numerous guys who never came back from supposedly innocuous overseas peacekeeping missions will get the recognition we all know they deserve.

                              Would a Green coloured poppy be a Irish solution to a Irish mind set.? Would it allow us in our own minds to exclude the likes of the Auxiliaries, Black an tans, Percival etc,
